I am having problems with loadVars over https. What I am trying to do is sending credit card information from a flash store to a PHP-script on a server over https, and the PHP-script should return a reply. (So I am using the LoadVars sendAndLoad command). The problem is that the reply I get from the script is empty. If I try the same over http, it works fine.
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with sendAndLoad on a secure site. Has anyone run across this before? In Internet Explorer it does not work at all. The Flash forms are sending data to PHP scripts on the secure site (https) and connecting to a MySQL database. If I change it to a non-secure site (http) it works fine.
Using Php file i m able to save all data but didnt get response back to flash file using [ result="OK" ] OR also i have tried replyXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
but always it become fail.
am having this problem of sending XML request to an addresswhich starts with "https". The problem is I always get the errormessage "Error opening URL "https:......."", instead of the actualresponse which should be in XML format as well.The function I am using is "sendAndLoad()"requestXML and responseXML are objects of XML class . Whatfunction "sendAndLoad" above does is to post variables in the"requestXML" object to the specified URL "servelet_address". Theserver response is downloaded, parsed as variable data, and theresulting variables are placed in the responseXML object.However, as I stated above, I always get the error message.

View 1 RepliesI have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.

A combobox (created with the returned data) is created on frame 61. When a selection is chosen in the combobox I need to add the value returned from the combobox to the variable catvar, add this variable to the LoadVars object and run the script again. It seems to set c.catvar initially but when I use the 'sendAndLoad command the second time c.catvar isn't included. Is it possible to add variables to a LoadVars object created
on frame 1 from frame 61?

For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)

All the examples in the text books, etc. show the LoadVars object being used with a .txt file. Can I use it with a .xml file or not? I have tried but the output panel just shows rubbish data!

Just wondering if you can use the sendAndLoad method of the Loadvars object to send "POST" data to a server then recieve the response in an XML object.
[Code]...
From what I understand, LoadVars.sendAndLoad( ) is generally used to request variable data form a server. I am trying to download an image (which can be returned to me as a bitmap, jpeg, or png depending on my a variable i pass to the server in the sendAndLoad command.
Is this possible? If so, what object do I specify as the target object in the sndAndLoad( ) command?[code]...
I'm using the following code to create a sendandLoad loadVars Object but it suddenly quit returning data and no matter what i do i cannot return a value.i'm useing aspx to return the value the response code looks like this. Response.write("success = success"); Ive also tried Response.write("&success = success"); but neither works and i also don't send data here is my code.
PHP Code:
sv0=new LoadVars();
sv0.filename = str1+cntrl0+".flv";
sv0.identifier=str5;

I'm writing a very simple flash app (AS 2) to sign users up to an email newsletter; the way it works is that it uses LoadVars to hit a (same-domain) PHP script via POST with the user's email address. The PHP script then passes the info through to another domain via curl to sign up the user.
So far, so good, and it works on roughly 70% of the computers on which it's been tested (it's being tested live from the website, not locally). However, on some computers, it doesn't appear that the LoadVars.sendAndLoad call is being made, as the email addresses sent from those computers aren't showing up on the subscriber list. I know that the PHP script still works on those computers as I've made a barebones HTML form that acts in exactly the way the Flash app does (POSTs to same PHP script with same variables, etc) and it works on all computers.
Here's the relevant AS:
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
submitOutAnimation();
this.enabled = false;

Having not used PHP in conjuction with Flash before the last few day, I'm a bit stuck.I have a PHP file which will contain a list of online courses, each with their own link to to launch them. The link to launch the course will contain data such as:
- A book mark that will be read when the flash movie loads to determine which page to go to.
- The current score of the student
- Wherever or not the student has compelted the course.The links open the course in a new popup window, and I am trying to send the PHP variables from the new window to the parent page, without much success.
If I use LoadVars.send(); then the whole works ok, updating the variables and the PHP page, but opening it in a new window, instead of just refreshing the existing page.I have tried getting my head around sendAndLoad, but it doesn't seem to work?Current the "courselist.php" file looks like this:

I am developing a module that will run on a CD-Rom as a projector. It needs to post small amounts of data to an online URL to facilitate tracking.Consider this:
Code:
var myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.username = _root.userName;
myVars.email = _root.emailAddress;[code].....This works fine, unless the user's computer is behind a corporate proxy server, which is specified in the Internet settings of the browser. My question.....Is it possible to specify a proxyserver (and port number) using Loadvars and SendAndLoad from a Projector EXE?
I have a flash menu which is currently loading its contents via a ever-changing XML file... well this has always been a good thing and worked just fine... until the release of AOL 9.0, which for some reason causes the XML to stop loading.So I found a workaround for this... rather than calling "menu.xml" I have this sript called "proxy.asp" which loads the "menu.xml" file into it via some sort of crazy .asp tunneling and object creation. Here is the proxy.asp file::
Code:
<%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript%>
<%
Response.Buffer=True
Dim MyConnection, TheURL
[code]....
NOW...since I run in literally hundreds of websites I need it to be dynamic. Is there a way for me to use the sendAndLoad() in Flash to pass the "proxy.asp" file a couple variables that will return the XML as an XML Object back into Flash? I know it can return Strings, but I need to learn how to send 2 variables out - ID and progID - and then based on that I will have the "theURL" variable in the proxy.asp file load the appropriate menu.xml file. how do I setup a sendAndLoad() with the LoadVars() and return XML from the proxy.asp?
I'm basically sending some variables to a php script from flash and then returning some values back to flash from the script. The problem is that the values returned to flash are appearing correctly but do not test correct.

I have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.
View 2 RepliesI need to transfer data from a flash application running in a browser to a server running php. If I use an https connection will that be enough to ensure that the data sent from flash to the server is encrypted and sensitive data can't be sniffed, or do I need to do encryption in my flash application itself?
View 1 RepliesI'm using sendAndLoad to send data from a Flash form to a PHP script. The PHP script will search an SQL database and return the results, in XML, to Flash for parsing.

I'm attaching an MC to the timeline and within that attached MC is a LoadVars.sendAndLoad command. This works flawlessly when I have a few variables but becomes horribly bogged down when I have to send (and receive) lots of data. It actually freezes my swf until all the data is loaded, then switches windows <minimizes itself in Win XP> after it's all done loading. I need a way for the original attach movie to finish loading, before I send the PHP commands...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load some data from a https-server that when you visit via a browser returns "The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid.". But when I accept anyway, the flash on the page page load data.
But when loading from the Flash Editor it return a:
[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://{url}"]
This is what is returned when loading data in Flash Editor from a https server without a valid certificate? Or could there be another problem? The url to the https-server is "changed" via the hosts-file in Windows. Could this cause any error? I have tried changing the hosts pointing to my local webserver, which works fine, but that isn't via https.

I'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.
We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.
View 1 RepliesI got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]
